TIL. Court House Question

The question of location of the
court house has been much dis
cussed subject the past week. The
uppermost thought has been to cen
ire upon some point that will be
conducive to the best interests of the
town and country, not leaving out of
mind the essential qualities of con
venience and adaptability. With
this thought in view the Russellville
bondsmen have decided TO tender to
the county court title to the site
originally selected, near the Chris
tian church, as compliance
Of the provisions of the petition
on which the election was
ordered, and also a title to three
lots situated on Main street where
Judge Wilson's law office and j. A.
Jameson's shop now stands. The
titles will be presented to day and
the court will be informed that the
bondsmen and large majority OF
the people most interested, prefer
that the lots last named be accepted
in lieu OF the first The court being
made acquainted with all the facts,
we believe, will grant the request Of
the bondsmen and the court house
will be built near the centre of town.
The case appealed to the supreme
court has not yet been decided and
the probability is that it will not be
taken up until after the next term OF
circuit court, and in that event the
next term of court will be held at
Dover as usual.

Correspondence OF the Democrat
APPLETON, March 24-Tbe court
house question was settled in quiet
and peaceaole manner last Saturday.
All are willing to abide the vox POP
ULI. May the matter now rest.
Farming is on boom. The PEG
pie start out with new courage and
sangulne as to results.
The private school opened last
Monday with Prof Keith at the
helm. A small number of pupils
greeted him at first, but quite reg
iment promised for the next week.
Mr.. Keith is enthusiastic on this
subject of education and people
should be. No subject is of more in
terest, and none should engage a
greater portion of parental attention.
Stocks, bonds, lands, and money, are
poor and Insignificant heritages as
compared to a well trained and equi-
poised mind. The former may, and
often proves curse, while the latter
always entails blessing. To give
children large estates without intel
lect and business skill to manage 1t,
would be as sensible as to send
Hottentot to philosophical conven
ton to learn of its science. But the
cry OF many parents is: teach the
children to work. So it should be,
but let them not be too eager to de-
velop the physical, as to neglect the
intellectual, or to stint the physical
by launching the little fellow into
manual labor too soon. There is as
much good sense, propriety,, econo
my, and less humanity in putting a
mule to the pillow at year old, as to
subject children at the age Of seven,
eight, ten and in many cases twelve,
to the arduous toll of hoeing and
blowing. Many cases of disease,
sickness and death are developed, or
caused by the excruciating heat of
the sun and too frequent and ardu-
Gus use of the muscle and bone of
the immatured and growing child.
Yet many parents are unaware of
these truths and ursher their precious
children into dire calamities and
bring upon themselves enormous ex,
penses in medical bills, etc. May
these hints in hygiene and political
economy cause the readers to think
few thoughts and count up the cost.
Mrs. Keith has been critically Ill

Coming Celebrations.

1t seems to be pretty well settled
that we shall have several national
festivals to commemorate the adop
ton Of the Federal Constitution, the
Inauguration OF the first president,
and the beginning of the period that
marked the transition from the OLD
confederacy to the more perfect I'M
ion" which followed the working OPP
Grafton of the new Constitution. 1t
has been proposed to divide up the
celebration of these events among
three cities, giving to New York the
centennial of the Inauguration Of the
first president, which occurred in
this city. April 80, 1889, and marks
the period when the governmental
machinery was first put in motion !;
to Philadelphia the hundredth ami
versary Of the Inauguration of the
Constitutions; and to Washington a
"big show" extending from these
preliminary celebrations down to
1892, so as to include the grand
quadricentenary of the discovery of
America, to be participated in by
''the three Americas and the sixteen
American republics" 1t would doubt
less be too much of strain to at
tempt to keep up the interest for so
long a time at Washington and
hence the latter city would prefer
that both the other events should be
celebrated there, leaving the four
huadredth anniversary of the dis
covery to be provided Tor hereafter.

We are living In the heart of the

oats are dying, cattle doing toler-
ably well. five can have a rain in

Correspondence OF the Democrat.
ATKINS, March 2S.--It is little
late to remark it, but the boys came
and went; ] mean those cruel and
wicked boys from Russellville, that
blew their horns here all the llvelong
day on the 22d Of this month. There
were several along who did not toot
upon horn, and stood around and
kinder looked happy but did not
want to be very demonstrative about
it. We had the boys fed at the
Quarles house, and we are confident
from the way the boys eat it was the
first square meal they had taken
time to eat in several days. We had
large store of dynamite In the street
for them to walk on, but it seems
none of them got on it, and now,
since we are, (if possible) in bet
ter humor than we were then, are |
rccon(?) glad they did not get on it.

Learn a Trade.

The ancient Jews required everybody
to learn trade, says the New Orleans
Picoyune. st. Paul, though one of the
most learned men of his nation, was a
tent-maker. 1t was a good rule, be-
cause it prepared every man for actual
service to society and placed him in a
manner beyond the vicissitudes of for
tune. We believe it would be a still
better rule if adopted in the education
of both sexes. A girl can learn stenog-
raphy and photography in the time
now spent-often more than wasted
over the piano. a boy with some tai
ent for that sort of work may, without
being Great artist, learn the practical
art of engraving-an art which is now
brought into requisition by nearly all
the trades. and which is of peculiar
value to the advertiser. And, after all,
ii is better to be a sef-supporting me-
chanic than briefess lawyer or a
hungry doctor.
